For That Hockey Withdrawal, Some “LOL”

I found a joke I laughed at, like, really hard. I tweaked it a little bit to honor the Stars, but I hope you laugh as much as I did. 🙂

A Dallas Stars fan, a Red Wings fan and a Boston Bruins fan were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of alcohol. All of the sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the alcohol, they were sentenced to death!

However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment.
By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.

As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh suddenly said: “It’s my first wife’s birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping.”

The Boston Bruin fan was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought about this for a while and then said: “Please tie a pillow to my back.” This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Boston Bruin fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The Red Wings fan was next up (he almost finished a half-can), and after watching the scene, said: “All Right! Please fix two pillows on my back.” But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again, sending the Detroit fan crying.

The Dallas Stars fan was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: “You support the greatest team in the world, your city has some of the best and most loyal hockey fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!”

“Thank you, your most Royal highness”, the Stars fan replies.

“In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes.”

“Not only are you an honourable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave,” the Sheikh says with an admiring look on his face. “If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?” the Sheikh asks.

“Tie the Red Wings fan to my back.”

😀

Now, I actually kind of like the Red Wings. It’s their fans that I can’t stand. Remember ol’ “Datsyuk I Am God” from the DMN blog? That’s the definition of cocky. Personally, I imagined DIAG as the Wings fan in the joke.
